Nothing Is Certain Except Love

Someone asked me today "Are you sure you want to do this?". Does he know the effect his words will have on me?

I ask myself those sort of "Are you sure?" questions everyday. I had no idea they would be so tough to hear from someone else. I need to know that you believe in me. I need to know that change is good, without question. And I need to have you behind me 100%, even if you're faking most of it. Because this is hard enough.

So, no. I'm not sure I want to do this. But I am sure that it's all going to turn out just fine.

"Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves liked locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."

~Rilke

Only one of you

"There is a quickening, a vitality, a life force that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, nor how it compares with others' expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to stay open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."

~Martha Graham
